Where’s the weakness? Where’s the spot in which a pitcher can take a breath and get an easy out? With Fort Dodge St. Edmond, apparently nowhere. No. 8 batter Josie Heesch, a freshman, poked a two-run home run to give St. Edmond some breathing room, and the 11th-ranked Gaels defeated Mid-Prairie, 5-2, in a Class 2A quarterfinal at the state softball tournament at the Rogers Sports Complex. St. Edmond (31-5) sports a remarkably balanced lineup. All nine regulars ...

When Tanner Miller runs at Drake Stadium, he does so with a thin skin. You may know that Miller was the Drake Relays runner-up in the boys’ 400-meter hurdles Saturday. But you might be unaware that he did it with a blister on his left foot that would have left most runners on the shelf. "There’s still a chunk of skin hanging there," Miller said Wednesday morning. "It’s still sore when you put a lot of pressure on it." Miller finished in 53.51 seconds, ...
DES MOINES — Same game. Different winner. Longtime former Eastern Iowa Hawkeye Conference rivals Solon and Mid-Prairie played a duplicate of their regular-season encounter Tuesday afternoon at the boys’ state basketball tournament. This time it was Solon building a big lead and holding on to win a Class 2A quarterfinal, 50-46. Mid-Prairie won the December meeting in almost identical fashion, 55-52. Deja vu all over again, as they say. “Yep. Exact same plot,” said Mid-Prairie guard Michael Aldeman. “Just switched.” Solon (24-2) plays IKM-Manning ...
